This 2019 review examines primary research and clinical trials involving lycopene and its impact on human health. The authors examine how the chemical structure of lycopene makes it a strong antioxidant, which is the basis for its health-promoting properties. Further authors examine clinical use in patients with prostate cancer, infertility, metabolic syndrome and liver damage.
